Chapter 167: A Thousand Miles Down to the River Capital (1)
On his trip to Jiangdu, Xiao Yu planned to go down the Qinghe River, and then turn into the Dongjiang Grand Canal in Qizhou, and then go straight down to Jiangdu.
However, a section of the Qinghe River located in the northwest territory, the water is turbulent, and it is impossible to sail, so it is necessary to take the road out of Xiliangzhou first, and take advantage of the spring flood from Julu City to take a boat down.
The prince and the princess both went out of the city, accompanied by Zhuge Gong with more than 100 tiger battalion armor soldiers, and more than 100 horsemen escorted a few black carriages to show their identities.
Within a radius of 100 miles of the team, there were even dark guard rangers scattered and roamed, led by Qu Cang and the old blind man, two veteran secret guards. This time, although the prince traveled not to tell the world, he couldn't hide it from the eyes of those who cared, and the two had to be careful and vigilant, for fear of repeating the mistake of the grassland ambush.
In the carriage of the carriage in the center, there is a heavy carpet, a small table, a wall cabinet, and a soft collapse. There are tea sets, stoves and bottles on the desk, all of which are fixed with hidden buckles, so that there is no worry of overturning. At this time, Xiao Yu was fiddling with the tea set on the desk with the tea ceremony skills he had been exposed to in his early years, while Lin Yinping was half-leaning on the soft collapse, flipping through a book about talented and beautiful people, and there was also a small figure lying next to Xiao Yu, resting his chin on the table, staring intently at Xiao Yu's movements.
Someone knocked on the carriage.
Xiao Yu stopped what he was doing and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhuge Gong's voice came, "Lord Qiqi, the people of the Xiao City Lord have arrived." ”
The city lord of Xiao is naturally the city lord of Julu City, and the former regent of Houjian Xiao Zheng. Northwest is a general name, including Xiliang Prefecture, Xihe Prefecture, Hanoi Prefecture, most of Shaanxi, and the five states of Zhongdu, rich in horses, but because of the deep inland, there is no ship, Xiao Yu wants to take a boat down the Jiangdu, or borrow the big ship of Julu City.
Xiao Yu glanced at the two women in the carriage, one big and one small, Lin Yinping sat up straight a little reluctantly, putting on the dignified demeanor of a princess, and Xiao Yuyi knelt beside him obediently.
Xiao Yu opened the window of the sandalwood embroidered with dark gold patterns and said, "Let him come over." ”
Zhuge Gong promised lightly, raised his hand, and the convoy slowly stopped.
After a while, a middle-aged man came to Xiao Yu's frame and turned over and dismounted, and saluted respectfully: "The little one has seen the prince." ”
Xiao Yu's eyes swept over this person, and said lightly: "It turned out to be Steward Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
The visitor was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Xiao Yu to remember himself, so he couldn't help but be a little flattered, and said more cautiously: "Thanks to the prince's Hongfu, the villain has been living a good time this time." ”
Xiao Yu snorted and continued, "How is the preparation of the building boat I want?"
Steward Sun replied respectfully: "It is completely in accordance with the requirements of the prince, each boat can carry a hundred people, a total of three, just wait for the prince to drive to Julu City, you can set off." ”
After Xiao Yu said a good word, he said to Zhuge Gong on the side: "Please ask Steward Sun to go to the carriage behind to rest and continue to move forward." ”
After the two left, Xiao Yu closed the car window, turned around and continued to fiddle with the tea set. Xiao Yuyi didn't know when he had been taken into Lin Yinping's arms, and the two girls, one big and one young, were looking intently at the notebook in Lin Yinping's hand, but they were a happy scene.
After Xiao Yu finished fiddling, he filled each of the three of them with a glass, stretched out his head to see what the two girls were looking at so fascinatingly, but was pushed away by Lin Yinping with one hand, Xiao Yu was not annoyed, and continued to stretch out his head to see.
Lin Yinping glared at him, "Don't make trouble!"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Let me open my eyes too." ”
Lin Yinping handed the book to Xiao Yuyi and asked her to read it by herself, and said angrily: "Didn't you bring a few Taoist classics, go and see your own, what are you doing here to join us?"
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "I have eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the porridge and side dishes also have a unique taste." ”
Lin Yinping learned the tone of the person in the book and said: "Don't think about your Wang Tu hegemony, what are you stirring up in our team!"
Xiao Yu also studied the book, and said with a smile: "Then I should say that the girl went to sit in another carriage, I carefully disturbed your reading here." ”
Lin Yinping got up and was about to leave.
Xiao Yu hurriedly got up and stopped, and said gently: "My daughter is watching." ”
After Lin Yinping sat down again, he glanced at him and said with a smile: "You still know that your daughter is here, isn't it not in shape." ”
Xiao Yuyi, who was on the side, tied up the cover of the book in his hand, blocked his face, and snickered.
Xiao Yu was dumbfounded, and had to forcibly change the topic: "Do you want to go out and get some air?"
Lin Yinping hesitated for a moment and said, "You and Yuyi go, I won't go." ”
Xiao Yu smiled and asked, "Really not going?"
Lin Yinping took the book just now again, and said calmly: "I really don't go." ”
Xiao Yu clapped his hands, and a tiger camp knight trotted over with two horses.
Xiao Yu helped Xiao Yuyi, who had just begun to learn riding, to sit on the white horse that belonged to Lin Yinping, but he was on another black horse with a rather irritable personality.
Xiao Yuyi sat on horseback and looked at Xiao Yu a little helplessly.
Xiao Yu smiled encouragingly.
Xiao Yuyi carefully shook the reins, and the white horse took small steps and rode with Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu looked up at the sky that was clear after the rain, turned his head, and asked with a smile, "Yuyi, do you want to practice?"
Xiao Yuyi tilted his head slightly, and asked softly, "What is cultivation?"
After Xiao Yue thought for a while, he said slowly: "The so-called cultivation is the saying of Buddhism, the Daomen is called cultivation or cultivation, this cultivation is divided into three major factions: the Broken Void of Human Immortals, the Nine Turning Yang Gods of Ghost Immortals and the Heavenly Immortals Crossing Tribulation and Soaring, but now the way of human immortals and the way of ghosts and immortals are withering, far less prosperous than the heavenly immortals, and the heavenly immortals are also subtly divided, the Yuanying Jindan, the language is unknown, but in my opinion, they are all different paths to the same end." Our so-called free immortal realm should actually be called the earth immortal in the Daomen, and the saint realm is the heavenly immortal, and the immortal realm is between the earth immortal and the heavenly immortal, probably belonging to the pseudo-realm of the heavenly immortal, staying in the world, soaring and transcending and not being able to. As for the mysteries of these two realms, I don't dare to say anything, I think that the real person in charge of the sect is already the peak of the earth immortals, and I can get a glimpse of the mystery. ”
Xiao Yuyi didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and asked, "What realm are you, father-in-law?"
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "It is a half-step realm of heaven and man, if you set foot in the realm of heaven and man, and then survive the catastrophe of heaven and man, heaven and man are sympathetic, only talking about combat power, it can be comparable to ordinary earth immortals, that is, the realm of leisure." “
Xiao Yuyi's little face was full of yearning, "If you practice later, can you fly down from the mountain directly with your stepmother like your stepfather?"
Xiao Yu coughed dryly, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he forcibly pulled back the topic and said, "Do you want to learn?"
Xiao Yuyi nodded heavily and said, "Yes." ”
Xiao Yu said quite complacently: "For my father, I don't dare to say that all the laws are universal, and it can be regarded as traversing the five realms, although many methods cannot be passed on, but it is still easy to help you build a foundation, Yu Yi, what do you want to learn?"
In Julu City, he was used to seeing cultivators who came and went, Xiao Yuyi didn't answer immediately, and his expression was slightly dazed.
It seems that he never thought that he would be able to become a practitioner one day.
The little girl thought for a while, and whispered, "I think the Buddha and the Tao are all repaired?"
Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, and asked with a smile: "Two initiates are two unrefined, why do you choose this?"
Xiao Yuyi lowered his head, "I once heard Aunt Murong say that the Demon Sect back then was built after being driven back by Buddhism and Taoism. ”
She raised her head, her black and white eyes looked at Xiao Yu with a hint of begging, "I want to kill Yan Hong and avenge my brother." ”
